There's one downside to getting your accent out ahead of your actual comprehension and speaking ability -- native speakers will hear you and assume your Spanish is _way_ better than it actually is.

Thanks for that pretty simple rule of thumb. In other words (latín) : In dubio pro subjunctivo.

Sorry folks for me I will never ever travel to Mexico again, got Robbed twice and beaten if you value your life stay out of there.

Nice haircut ❤️

The proper is "el mesa es cebrao" which means the table is broken

Another false friend is "borracheiro", which has nothing to do with drunkenness. In Brazil I saw an article about um borracheiro cego: a blind tire changer. I use "sotaque" in Latin, as "sautāx, sautācis".

This convinced me that Duo Lingo is bad lol.

Telling someone to study only the subjunctive mood in Spanish is just as stupid as saying that it's best to learn ONLY the preterite form of verbs, rather than also the imperfect forms. Some things absolutely can't be communicated unless the proper verb form is used. Try saying THIS in Spanish without using the subjunctive - "I want you to do this for me." A direct translation: It can't be done without the subjunctive. "Quiero que me hagas esto." Yes, that's a direct translation - Hey, and even if native speakers will still understand you when you don't use the subjunctive, well ... it's not good for your ongoing learning simply because you'd actually be practicing an incorrect form, and then your brain would need to learn how to shift gears again when you actually DO comprehend the subjunctive mood more deeply. It's also used in English, although perhaps not as often. But here's a memorable sample in English - A song from a movie, and the lyrics are as follows: "If I were a rich man ... " The word "were" is used in the subjunctive form because you're expressing something which is contrary to fact - You're actually NOT rich. I was a Spanish teacher. I lived in Argentina. I have a university degree. I know damn well what I'm talking about. And the BEST advice anyone can get is to actually LEARN the subjunctive mood deeply ... and then actually use it in your speech when the situation demands.

Depending on what is said, yes ... a Spanish speaker can sometimes understand Italian, or at least get the general idea of what is said. I speak as someone who knows Spanish fluently, but knows virtually NO Italian, and that's been my very limited experience with Italian.

Correction on the US comment that you made about we calling ourselves boricuas was before the US invasion dude boricuas were the natives before the Spanish invasion too just keep that in mind lets not try to put these politics and these personal views on the history of our Island please. We are boricuas and still are boricuas doesn't matter who invaded or came first.

I'm a native spanish speaker, even so i didn't know some things you mentioned jeje, it just sounds natural to me the subjunctive, great video

Vigo habla perfecto castellano argentino. Vivió aquí hasta los 9 años.

Fun fact, we also have a subjunctive in English, "It's important that he study", and study is not conjugated. idk if that helps. Also drilling type 2/3 conditionals might help.

Yo si me acuerdo pidiendo chelas en un restaurante o un bar que te preguntaban si la quisieras helada, jamás escuchado elena, interesante. Y cuando tenías adonde hacer tus compras habitualmente, tu y el vendedor o la vendedora se refieren uno al otro como caserito, y muchas veces te daría tu yapita, como para agradecerte.

Really good lesson, amigo. This is definitely a challenging subject for all of my students - will be sharing this!

Great video!!!! Please do more videos like this... basically with common sentences people would say. (for example: I wished they had arrived on time!) Thanks in advance!

It's quite astounding to see how Americans feel so much pride in speaking two languages, here in India people generally on average speak around 3-4 languages but here nobody cares sadly ...

solid explanation

Me gustó esta lección. La explicó muy bien. Gracias!

Great info here. It wasn't until after about 3 years of exposing myself to content in Spanish that I sat down and really studied the subjunctive grammar. Way easier to learn that way lol

first comment?

Gracias por su clarificación. Ahora tengo que ir a México para coger el autobús, porque mucho mucho mucho me gusta.... 🎉

Watching Nate learn and struggle through Italian you really see his passion for languages by how uncontainable his excitement is

2:17 mind-blow moment 😂😂😂

Find some people here in the States that don't speak English at all.

I’ve been nervous speaking Spanish with people before. It’s nice to know that even the pros, like you, still feel it❤

I have a question for you. How much does your course cost? Is there like a monthly subscription or what?

Really cool shirt, saludos desde México!

Wow, Claudia vive en mi ciudad ❤ Bienvenida a Canadá 🇨🇦

I agree with speaking but I keep hearing from dreaming Spanish that I should wait it’s too late for me since I used to speak Spanish in high school.

Hablo español y estoy aprendiendo portugués. Toma tiempo para acostumbrarse al portugués, pero es un idioma muy lindo.

Estas loco 🤣saludos mi pana que te cuides y que sigas echandole bolas este contenido me cae bien

This was more helpful than the native born and raised youtubers try and do. This is how they actually speak.

This focus on speaking a lot to learn a language is so misguided. Speaking in and of itself does NOTHING to teach you anything. However LISTENING to the responses does teach you. You don't learn a language by speaking it. You need to listen and read ALOT. And then a small amount of speaking practice to train your mouth to move the muscles to produce the sounds correctly.

I don't reckon my personality changes depending on the language I happen to be speaking at any given moment. I lived in Germany for 10 years and fitted right in from day 1 probably because, although I'm Scottish, I just seem to have many things in common with Germans. I currently live in Spain and don't find the people that much different and seem to get along with the same old personality.

just started watching ur vids and funny to see her go from being your ¨friend´´ Yazmin to now.... su amor hahahah

This mans had to carry a conversation with 2 cuties using a second language. They didn't even ask him for his name haha he had to mention it himself 3/4 into it. Actually they didnt ask him a single thing! lol

No sé, pero creo que se confunde aún con su idioma nativo jajja, me pasa igual cuando hago intercambio de idiomas empiezo a dudar o me parece que no estoy hablando bien o lo que digo no tiene sentido xddd y trata de simplificar lo que se dice jaja

Yeah so many fall into the expat community trap and create a bubble.

I loved this opportunity to finally hear from Nate's sister! 😆

la sonrisa de la chica me hace sonreir

awesome! that tongue twister gave me a headache. im impressed haha

As a Puerto Rican, this is how uneducated ppl speak in PR.

He has to shave that mustache

I'm brazilian and I can easily understand spanish speaker though I have never studied it. Spanish speakers find hard portuguese spoken due sounds that don't exist in spanish language.

I'm Swedish and during our English language year in England, UK we were also taught Latin, which helps a lot when trying to learn Spanish. My Spanish host family friend taught me some Spanish and the other Spanish speaking language students, they were from Colombia, Spain, Mexico etc. And when I worked in London in a hostel the majority of the guests were from Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, so we tried to learn the check in procedure in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. I still try and practice
